Womyn’s Creative Circle is a monthly art and cultural night where you can create art through collaborative projects set up by YeYo members at Gya or bring your own creative work-in-progress such as a song, a poem, a painting, or even a dance to share with other attendees. This month featured activities will include making a beaded necklace that will be raffled at the end of the night, Henna body art by Anneliese, a thai yoga demo with Nado. Along with our in-house fine crafts for sale we will also have knit hats, headbands and purses perfect for the fall season by Makeeda. Egyptian Tarot will be done by YeYo member Andrea, and the community quilt square table continues from last month. And…personal pizzas and salad from Master Piezza will be available for purchase. So, come on through, relax, be creative, be yourself, and join the circle.

Thoughts on Aesthetic Vision by Marlene Schuman

written by Marlene Schuman

(somewhat influenced by Dziga Vertov, Russian documentarist)

The trick to living fully is to not just wait for others, those with aesthetic visions, to capture what surrounds us daily in epiphanic flashes of art, photography, and story, but to see it ourselves--to be on the alert for it. Therein lies the real trick--to sustain a consciousness (one neither dulled by cynicism nor given to high drama) which is given to pattern, texture, shading, geometry, and perspective: to human pain, the tilt of a head, the slope of a shoulder or plain of a cheek; and to the rhythms of dialect, rumblings of technology, and the whispers of nature. Life is indeed montage, visual and audial, and each of us has an internal camera and tape by which we can record and be invigorated by our experiences.

*This short writing was gifted to us by a wonderful activist and friend of the collective. She felt inspired to share this piece after visiting us, recieving our correspondance and visiting our blog.
